Quote from Letter 5,9 to Peter, notary in Reggio. October 594.
Those bearing this letter asked that the church plate of the church of Myrie, which Bishop Severinus had at some stage taken with him to Squillace, be restored to them.
Since, therefore, Church property ought to be secured with careful concern, this is what we have decided. He should be consecrated bishop in the same city where the plate itself could be handed over to him.
